This night I was dreaming that I was looking at a friends house from within my room (he lives about 30 meters in the opposite of my house IRL as well)
But his house was having a major rebuild and it gained an extra floor so now it was one of the highest houses in this street. Also his room was now like 3 meters away from my room (It was like a hallway going in my house’s direction)
I was thinking to myself: Hah this is just a little bit strange (Just a little???) so I did the Nose RC. But as far as I know, it was just like a real life RC where I couldn’t breathe through! It’s odd, because normally IRL I’ll also think about what I did 5 and 10 minutes ago, or I’ll do a second RC. But in the dream it was like “Ok I am doing an RC on an odd occasion… Done… Ok let’s continue”
What would be the best way to prevent something like this from happening again? Or was this just very rare to happen? (Since 9/10 times IRL I take much more time in doing even 1 RC, just to be sure I am NOT dreaming)
The only time it failed with me was when I was convinced it wasn’t a dream and wasn’t even paying attention to the outcome. Try prevent that I try to breath a little bit longer by trying to breath both in and out.
I’ve had a few situations where I my nose mostly felt clogged and I just brushed off the ability to breath a little as not quite doing the tech right. I’ve also had times where it didn’t worked and I later realized I had been preventing it from working by actually stopping myself from breathing in my nose by cutting it off from my throat (if that makes any sense at all). You just really have to take the time to make sure it was done correctly, even irl when you’re sure you made no mistake.
You have to truly believe that you will get RC results;
it’s very easy to be fooled by your logical expectations from real life, and this will make your brain react to the RC in a logical way as well.
Besides, some Reality Checks seem to not work for some people;
I have tried the push-hand-through-wall thing many times and it never works, but other RC’s like looking at a clock several times or lifting super-heavy weights work perfectly fine.
